Please check your system bios to make sure ACPI power management is enabled.

Also go to your Start Menu, Run and type devmgmt.msc which will bring up
Device Manager

Doubleclick on Computer to expand it, Does it say ACPI? ACPI is what you
want in order for Standby and Shutdown to work.

If your system is not ACPI, it means your system is too old or your bios is
too old, update your bios to a ACPI bios if you can.
